Ingredients:
1 or 2 turkey breasts 2 cups stale bread crumbs
1 tbsp dried savoury 2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 medium onion, chopped ¼ cup cranberries
1 apple, peeled and cubed 1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper 1 tsp onion powder
2 lengths of cotton thread
Veggie side:
4 medium potatoes 1 small turnip 1 tbsp cream
2 medium carrots 1 tsp sea salt 1 tbsp brown sugar
Bunch green beans, broccoli 1 small onion
2 tbsp butter or margarine 2 tbsp flour or corn starch
1 cup turkey or chicken broth 1 tsp turkey gravy mix
Method for Turkey:
First debone turkey breast and cut through the centre to open flat on a plate, then sit aside until ready to use.
In a small bowl add stale bread crumbs, savoury, ½ tsp sea salt, ½ tsp pepper, ½ tsp onion powder and toss together.
Then peel and chop onion, add 1 tbsp to the bowl and chop cranberries in half, then peel and cut in small cubes one apple.
Then toss all of them in the bowl with the other ingredients, after adding 1 or 2 tbsp butter and pinch all the ingredients together by hand or with a spoon.
Then add one cup or more of the stuffing on top of flattened turkey breast and pat down.
Then the end closes to you roll outward until the turkey breast is rolled and put any stuffing back inside the turkey roll that falls out.
After that, take a piece of the cotton thread and wrap it around the turkey roll and tie it together.
You will need a roaster with lid, add stuffed turkey breast roll, continue on to the other piece of turkey if you are making two or more.
Then add small pieces of butter inside turkey skin to have a buttery taste, a pinch of pepper, salt and onion powder.
Add chopped onion to the bottom of the roaster and 1 cup broth.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and bake for 60 minutes or until done, 30 minutes uncovered and 30 minutes covered. When cooked let rest and cut in slices.
In a saucepan with water, start to boil, add 1 tsp sea salt and one small onion, then peel and chop veggies, cut carrots in slices, turnip in small cubes, potatoes in half and parsnips in chucks. Let boil on a medium heat until fork tender, steam green bean or peas for a couple of minutes before ready to use.
In a another pan add 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour and mix around, add hot turkey drippings and veggie broth from your cooked veggies, add turkey gravy mix or chicken, mix together until gravy is thickened and smooth.
Back to veggies, add potatoes to a bowl with butter and cream then mash, or any seasonings you like. In another bowl toss carrot, parsnip and turnip together with butter, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tbsp brown sugar and mash.
Bonita’s Tips: Serve turkey roll, with a helping of all veggies and topped with a nice scoop of gravy. Then a side of cranberry sauce or mustard pickles, picked beets, fresh hot rolls!

Hi! I'm old, sick, & confined to bed, waiting to join my dear husband of 50 years in his nursing home where he's dying of Parkinson's & dementia. Thanksgiving day my social worker left her 4 children & family to bring me her mom's complete homemade turkey. Homemade bread, mashed turnips (don't see that much), pumpkin pie. This is a sad time for me but I thought I still have much to e thankful for, including you, love!

[@davestelling]

God bless you, Claudia. I hope you don't mind if I just thought a little prayer for you and your husband. Hugs...

[@Claudia-up6hr]

@@davestelling My husband's name is Dave! He was a lawyer, author, & rescued many abused dogs. I guess your prayer worked--I just got a call that they got an emergency space for me because he's slipping away. An ambulance is coming for me Thursday. We live I'm Kingston, Ontario. We loved the Maritimes when we visited & regretted we never got to Newfoundland. Such strong, good people there. Hugs to you, Dave!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Claudia, My heart is so full reading your message, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your husband. We hope you get to be by his side during his last few days. I'm so glad your home care working gave you a beautiful turkey dinner for thanksgiving. Sounds like you and your husband had a wonderful life together traveling and helping others. We thank you so much for thinking of us and taking the time to write a beautiful message. We will continue keeping you and your husband in our thoughts and wish you both all the best. God Bless you both. Your friend Bonita

Good morning my friends Bonita and Raymond Hussey. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Raymond and your family. I'm recovering from another overnight stay at Hospital Friday night. My legs and back and sides went numb and I had trouble standing and walking. The doctor in emergency said it was my sciatic nerve acting up and to just take it easy as there isn't much you can do for that. Thank you for sharing this beautiful turkey dinner 🦃. It looks delicious. Enjoy your turkey dinner. Have a wonderful Blessed week full of Good Blessings for you and your family. Stay safe my friends hugs from Wendy Bertie in Toronto Ontario

[@frankieamsden7918]

Unfortunately, my son is allergic to dairy so I can't add milk to the mashed potatoes, but he never cared for them until I started adding turnip and parsnip and now he gobbles it up (pun intended). It never occurred to me to cook just the breast like this. Such a good idea. I can't wait to try it. Looks so pretty when you carve it.

[@karenbackus1531]

Thank you Bonita! I am going to fix a turkey breast for Thanksgiving for myself and 2 friends. I’ve been looking for ideas to make it special and I found it, thanks to you!

No one in my family likes turkey...but I love it. Thank you for making me believe that I can have turkey for myself. I will be going to the market today to get a breast, and I'm having turkey the day AFTER Thanksgiving; now that's something to be grateful for! Happy Harvest Bonita and Raymond!

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you and yours. Enjoy our NEW recipe and I agree totally nothing like a good turkey dinner. :) Bonita

[@jeffmorse645]

What a delicious looking meal! I live alone and like the idea of making a holiday type dinner in a more manageable portion. I like how Canada's Thanksgiving is so far from Christmas too. With it being in late November in the US it seems like you don't have a break for about six weeks between Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. Its almost too much!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Jeff. I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe and video this week, I agree totally with having thanksgiving in October, it gives you a break before the Christmas season. Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita

[@chicagorandy]

I'm sooooo dumb sometimes - I thought for a bit that this must be some kind of rerun of a year old video..... until I looked up at my wall calendar and saw that tomorrow is Thanksgiving in Canada - lol - GREAT recipe and procedure to 'butterfly' the big turkey breast to stuff it... like a big pork chop etc. I will definitely give this one try. A fantastic way to create a full "T"-Day meal for just a couple or even a single person, at the holidays or anytime of the year. Thanks again.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Haha you are very welcome and thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a message. This is Canadian thanksgiving weekend and I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe, I'm all about making everyones meal plan easy and with Covid and only a few family members in our bubble. Its hard to cook a full 20 or 30 pound turkey for one, two or three people. Enjoy Bonita

[@msbeaverhausen7226]

I have never cooked a full bird because I only enjoy the white meat. It is so much faster, cleaner and no waste when cooking a boneless breast! When I do my mashed potatoes, I use yellow potatoes, sour cream and cream cheese. It is decadent and delicious! Happy Thanksgiving to you both🤗🤗

[@bonitaskitchen]

Great idea! I make southern style cornbread dressing with sage which I would use. I love the stuffing/dressing that I have made for 50 years now! The single breast is a great idea. Thanks!!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Nice! Thank you for sharing your style of stuffing, we always use savoury spice for our stuffing/dressing. This recipe I wrote for one or two people and no waste, getting the taste of turkey with no big cost or leftovers. Enjoy and thank you so much for stopping by. :) Bonita

Is “Jigg’s Dinner” what Americans eat on St. Patrick’s Day? Corned beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, Irish Soda Bread, and Irish Beer?? (Our favorite! But no one ever knows what an Irish dessert should be! 😂)

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi and thank you for your message and for stopping by, yes pretty much thats what a jiggs dinner is but use pickled salted beef, not corned beef. But all the other ingredients is the same, we make a peas pudding, and a dessert pudding like steamed molasses pudding, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZiZiIRjmLiohLs or of any type. If you visit www.bonitaskitchen.com and type in puddings you will get all different types of puddings and thats a big dessert in NL and Ireland.
